SAFETY ATTACH NIENT.

SPECIFICATION forming parto!" Letters Patent No. 296,002, dated April 1,1884. Application med January 1s, iss-1. (No model.)

'o all whom t marifoon/Gern'.-

Beit known that I, ELIZABETH G. HARLEY, of the city and county ofPhiladelphia, in the State'of Pennsylvania, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Safety Attachments, of which improvements thefollowing is a specification.

- The object ofmy invention is 'to provide simple, convenient, andeffective means for the attachment-of an umbrella, satchel, caba, orother small article ordinarily carried in the hand, to a part of thewearing-apparel of the person carrying'the same, so as to enable sucharticle to be transported and handled as desired Wit-hout risk of beingdropped or mislaid.

'Io this end my improvements consist in the ing-hook of specialconstruction, also, in the combination of a cord or chain, asuspendinghook, a connecting-piece, and a series of ad! lasting-pieces,all as' hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view in perspective,illustrating" the appli-- cation of .my invention for carrying a ladyscaba; Fig. 2, a similar view, showing it as used for carrying anumbrella; Figs. 8 and 4,vie\vs on an enlarged scale, showing,respectively, different constructions of the device as proper for theuses shown in Figs. l and 2; and Fig.

M-y complete device I term the universal attacher,77 inasmuch as it isadapted to be used for carrying almost any article of suffrhand.pending-hook, A, of wire, bent into the form shown in` the drawingswtoWit, having three substantially-parallel limbs forming two bends ot' Ushape, with openings at opposite ends, respectively, of the hook, andhavinga crosspiece or retainer, a, on one of its ends. A cord or chain,B, is connected at one of its ends to the bend ot' the hook A farthestfrom the cross-piece a, and is provided at its opposite end with aconnecting-piece, b, through which the cord or chain is passed to form aloop around any convenient point of attachment on the article to becarried. When a chain is employed, the connecting-piece may i be asimple ring, asin Fig. 3, and ifa cord is used the connecting-piece ispreferably in the form shown in lig. 4-that is to say, having a tubularportion fitting the cord (which may be single or double) and a lateraleye or ring. H

One or more adjusting-pieces, b', which may be of similar constructionto the connecting-` piece b, are attached to the cord or chain B at adesired point or points in its length.

In the. use ol' the device, the suspendinghook A is connected to abutton hole of'a coat, dress, or other outer garment, or to aV it andobviate risk of itsr being lost or inis-` laid. t

W'hen not in use, 4the chain may be left attached to the article, withthe adjusting-pieces connected to the hook and looped up or not atpleasure.

I. claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- 1. Asuspending -hook for safety attachments, having two U-shaped bendsturnedin opposite directions, and a cross-piece or retainer at the endof one of said bends, in combination with a cord or chain provided withmeans for attachment to said hook and to the article to be carried,substantially as set. forth. 2. The combination of a suspending-hooksuch as described, and a cord or chain connected at one end to saidhook,and having a connecting piece, ring, or slide at the other,

. substantially as set forth.

3. The combination of a suspending-hook such as described, a cord orchain attached thereto, a connecting-piece attached to the opposite endof said cord or chain, and one or more adjusting-pieces attached to thecord or chain between the hook and the connectingpiece, substantially asset forth.

. ELIZABETH G. HARLEY.
